It would overcrowd his department and spoil the record he was trying to make but he said not a word except "All right." And so Jurgis became a workingman once more; and straightway he sought out his old friends, and joined the union, and began to "root" for "Scotty" Doyle.
Well, perhaps we do not wish to be quite alone; but certainly to have more than two on an island is to overcrowd it, and our companion must be of a like age and disposition. For this reason parents spoil any island for a healthy-minded boy.
One is by parade, the other by setting him down to a banquet table and making speeches about him until they overcrowd his emotions and leave him limp and speechless. I had to pass through this ordeal.

The sanitary officers no doubt have it in charge to see that every man has his due allowance of cubic feet of fresh air, in other words, to take care that each tent or other apartment is well ventilated, and not crowded. The men's affair is to establish such rules among comrades as that no one shall stop up air-holes, or overcrowd the place with guests, or taint the air with unwholesome fumes.
Man alive, I am not trying to lower their wages." "Ay, but you are going the way to do it." "How do you make that out?" "The trade is full already; and, if you force the men to live to threescore and ten, you will overcrowd it so, they will come to starvation wages." Little was staggered at this thunderbolt of logic, and digested the matter in silence for a moment.
These attendants may be club or committee members who volunteer their services for certain days in the week.
